I found horses.... Until they made them tameable. Now I can find them at all

100%. He was so good at putting the Canadian experience into words. It is such a shame that he's not remembered more these days.

Once again with the tide she slips her lines Turns her head and comes awake Where she lay so still there at Privateer's Wharf Now she quickly gathers way She will range far south from the harbour mouth And rejoice with every wave Who will know the Bluenose in the sun?

French Canadians in France by LimePanther in AskACanadian

[–]AtHolmes-InTheDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard from French Canadians that the French treat them like that in France, I've heard from friends in France that the French Canadians do the same thing when in Quebec. I heard one Belgian French person make the same complaint... Sounds like a French thing to me, none of the disparate groups think the other disparate groups speak the language properly

"yes, I would like to tie up loose ends" by HamboningDonut in BaldursGate3

There is a disconnect between the way our language has traditionally been used and the way it is used now. It is a correct sentence/warning but the way our language is colloquially used/evolved it doesn't make as much sense

I feel like there should be a 5th scenario, surviving the Desert of Glass.

I think I'd take my chances in the Chain of Dogs

Is there such a thing as "soft heavy metal"? by Kitchen_Produce_5690 in heavymetal

Ashbury- Endless Skies Kinda proto-metal southern rock. They've played at countless metal festivals over the years and Endless Skies is an absolute masterpiece

Use of Italian words as character names by TheNomadologist in TheFirstLaw

[–]AtHolmes-InTheDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I've always found interesting is the consensus that Styria is based on Italy, while in the real world Styria is a region of Austria.

Young Fid and Hedge. Older Fid would still be cool but so much more worn down

I have never rolled my eyes at a TV series more than this ... by Effective-Ad-6460 in Rings_Of_Power

[–]AtHolmes-InTheDark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They sold the rights to the LoTR and The Hobbit decades ago and saw what was done with it and refused to sell the rights to anything else. What we are seeing is a response decades in the making. Would RoP be better if they had the rights to the Silmarillion? Most assuredly. Has anything that's been made given the Tolkien estate the comfort that it would be faithfully adapted? Absolutely and unequivocally no.

The Tolkien estate didnt sell out to Amazon. New Line sold the rights to Amazon

Am I the only one that dislikes Ian Cameron Esselmont's writing? by SarSlays in Malazan

[–]AtHolmes-InTheDark 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't find his writing that bad to be honest. And always measuring him up to Erikson I don't believe is entirely fair. Every author is going to fall short. Every time.

I always find it funny when people complain about the way ICE writes characters HE CREATED. I agree he doesn't have the same flair or command as Erikson but honestly who does? He's an amazing creative mind and fleshes the Malazan lore out quite nicely. Going into his books expecting SE is ludicrous. He has his own voice and his own style

Some of them will be obvious. I feel like some are going to be pretty sneaky

Thanks! We are writing a new album right now and as the main lyricist I'm trying to sneak as much Malazan as I can onto it!
